RNs Should Look for the Right Nurse Attorney to Defend their Case

The Texas Board of Nursing (BON) is the government agency that has jurisdiction to hear and decide administrative cases involving RN and LVN in Texas. It is also the agency that is responsible for overseeing the practice of professional nursing all over the state of Texas. Any RN or LVN who is guilty of violating state laws and issuances from the Texas Board of Nursing (BON) may be subjected to penalties or fines if not properly defended by a skilled nurse attorney. As a matter of fact, the RN license and LVN license can even be suspended or revoked.

A perfect example of this incident happened on or about May 2, 2011, when an RN from Floresville falsely documented providing care and treatment to the patient’s Gastrostomy tube (G-tube) site. According to the complaint, the RN failed to perform, and which was ordered by the physician. The patient subsequently developed skin breakdown around the G-tube site.

The
RN’s conduct exposed the patient unnecessarily to a risk of harm from medical
complication in that she sustained breakdown which required daily dressing
changes. In addition, her conduct resulted in an inaccurate medical record
which was likely to deceive other caregivers who needed accurate information on
which to base their care.

When summoned by the Texas Board of
Nursing, the RN states she did sign the MAR prior to doing the treatment, and she
was on her way to doing the peg tube treatment when she was called and got busy
and forgot to go back and do it.

However, without valid evidence and
expert nurse attorney to defend her, the RN was suspended and disciplined.

This is just one of the many cases why every nurse in Texas is expected to act with prudence in practicing the profession. Any form of gross negligence, disobedience or any form of offense on the part of an RN or LVN is never excused.

Any type of accusations can be defended, as long as there is a
skilled nurse attorney ready to assist you during the hearing before the Board
of Nursing. The Texas Board of Nursing has full jurisdiction regarding cases
that may affect an RN or LVN’s license from suspension, disciplinary action or
revocation.

The
RN lost the case simply because she failed to find an effective and efficient
nurse attorney. Avoid committing the same mistake she did. Find the right nurse
